100+ Head-Fier
I recently got Westone UM2's, and have decided that my old 30Gb iPod Video (G5, is it?) finally needs to be replaced; it's got problems, and it has lots of hissing when used with the UM2's (though it still sounds good).
Even before I got the UM2's, I was thinking about at least upgrading to a 160Gb iPod Classic. However, I doubt that the jack is that much less noisy, and I bet the SQ is the same. Is my logic correct?
Even without all that space, what are some good options for a DAP to use with Westone UM2 without an amp (dunno how wise that is, but whatever)? As I say, the main requirement is a quiet jack and good sound quality.
I don't particularly need anything fancy (don't need video, wifi, radio, or playback of anything other than mp3's), but good battery life would be nice, and a relatively thin DAP is a must. As for space - I would need 30+Gb, and the bigger, the better. If it can accept flash cards, then I can always put in a pricey 32Gb one or something, so I'm even OK with that.
Recommendations, anyone?
